Stein Nude
This is the most detailed Black and White I've ever done. I don't think I could have done it with traditional media. The ability to zoom in and out - actually more important to let me see overall value relationships as well as work on details and then see how they look at a larger scale - is something you only get with digital tools.
Again, done in Studio Clip Paint only.
This is done from an amazing Stein photo of a Russian ballerina
Final Image
Initial drawing
Blocked in. This stage is critical. You must have the basic values at this stage. You should already see a 3D form.
Starting to blend. You can see how much it changes as you create intermediate values by blending.
Finished initial blending and added a gradient background
Full detail pass and then reblending
Added white highlights and detailed hands
Chest, head and arms detailed
Legs detailed
Corrections - ribcage was a major fix, plus breast and fingers, just face remaining
